Basic navigation tips

Palm Reader runs in a terminal application on your computer. Your terminal preferences may affect the behavior of Palm Reader. In particular, "mouse events" or "mouse reporting" might need to be explicitly enabled to click on the interface. Mouse interaction may prevent you from selecting and copying text directly from the screen as you may be used to in other user interfaces.

Most widgets and modals can be focused by typing a single key. That shortcut key is included in parenthesis by each widget title. Press h to open the Help modal which lists all available widgets and their shortcut keys.

Pages in Palm Reader can be advanced using the <<< and >>> buttons at the top of the screen, or by typing [ and ].

Inside a focused widget, left / right arrow keys will cycle the keyboard focus between elements (buttons and text input fields). Up / down arrows change the selection in a list or table, or scroll an overflowing list or table.

On the client, accessing Palm Reader via SSH:
